Australian history of aviation has borne witness to some of the worlds most audacious daredevils and dreamers.
Their extraordinary exploits would read more like fiction had they not all been so meticulously document as fact.
Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
Leonardo da Vinci
Mal Walden was 17 years of age when he applied for his first job in media and found himself in the blocks of an amazing race to be first with breaking news. At age 70, he gracefully crossed the finishing line to be recognised as the longest serving newsman on Australian television.
